Premier League Manager of the Month award for
April.
The news will come as little consolation for the
Argentine, however, as May began with a damaging
1-0 defeat at West Ham that effectively ended
Spurs' title challenge with Chelsea able to clinch
the crown with victory at West Brom on Friday.
Pochettino led his side to six successive wins in
April - scoring 16 times and conceding just one -
as the north London team threatened to push
Chelsea all the way.
But the 1-0 setback at the London Stadium means
they will likely have to settle for second place and
automatic qualification to the Champions League
next season.
Son Heung-min won the Player of the Month
award to make it a Spurs double.
The South Korea forward scored five goals in four
consecutive matches in April to become the first
man to land the award twice in 2016-17.
Chelsea forward Pedro was handed the Goal of the
Month prize for his stunning effort in the 3-0 win at
Everton on April 30.
The Spain international picked the ball up on the
edge of the area before turning back and
hammering a left-footed shot past Maarten
Stekelenburg.
